Furunavi Launches Donation Initiative for Flood Relief and Landslide Assistance

Furunavi Launches Emergency Donation Platform

In light of the devastation caused by the torrential rains and landslides in July 2023, Furunavi, operated by i-mobile Co., Ltd, has responded with an initiative to aid recovery efforts through donations. This initiative aims to support communities that have faced severe hardship during these disasters.

Furunavi, a well-known hometown tax donation website, has opened an emergency disaster support portal, allowing contributions to help those affected in specific municipalities. The company expresses deep sympathies to everyone impacted by the July disasters and is now facilitating contributions to two newly designated local governments.

Newly Supported Municipalities

1. Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture
- Donation Page
2. Koka City, Shiga Prefecture
- Donation Page

Additionally, contributions continue to be accepted for Sanyama Village, Kumamoto Prefecture, which has already been designated for flood relief efforts.

Overview of Support Initiatives

Furunavi's emergency disaster support page is designed to ensure that the donation process is smooth and effective for all contributors. All funds collected through these donations will be completely directed to the affected local governments and will be acknowledged with a donation receipt. However, donors should note that receipt delivery might be delayed compared to usual timelines.

As part of this initiative, Furunavi guarantees that no fees will be charged for donations made through the dedicated disaster support page. Consequently, 100% of the contributions will benefit the municipalities in need. However, participants need to be aware that no gifts or incentives will be provided in return for these donations, emphasizing the altruistic nature of this campaign.

Furunavi encourages widespread awareness of this initiative, as it believes that greater visibility will lead to increased support for the relief efforts. They are eagerly awaiting assistance from citizens across Japan, emphasizing the crucial role of community support in these challenging times.
